عُوبَدْيَا 1

١ 1 رُؤْيَا عُوبَدْيَا: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ أَدُومَ: سَمِعْنَا خَبَرًا مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأُرْسِلَ رَسُولٌ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ: «قُومُوا، وَلْنَقُمْ عَلَيْهَا لِلْحَرْبِ».

This is the vision of Obadiah: This is what the Lord GOD says about Edom— We have heard a message from the LORD; an envoy has been sent among the nations to say, “Rise up, and let us go to battle against her!”—

٢ 2 «إِنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ صَغِيرًا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ. أَنْتَ مُحْتَقَرٌ جِدًّا.

“Behold, I will make you small among the nations; you will be deeply despised.

٣ 3 تَكَبُّرُ قَلْبِكَ قَدْ خَدَعَكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّاكِنُ فِي مَحَاجِئِ ٱلصَّخْرِ، رِفْعَةَ مَقْعَدِهِ، ٱلْقَائِلُ فِي قَلْبِهِ: مَنْ يُحْدِرُنِي إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ؟

The pride of your heart has deceived you, O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks whose habitation is the heights, who say in your heart, ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’

٤ 4 إِنْ كُنْتَ تَرْتَفِعُ كَٱلنَّسْرِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ عُشُّكَ مَوْضُوعًا بَيْنَ ٱلنُّجُومِ، فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ أُحْدِرُكَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, even from there I will bring you down,”

٥ 5 إِنْ أَتَاكَ سَارِقُونَ أَوْ لُصُوصُ لَيْلٍ. كَيْفَ هَلِكْتَ! أَفَلَا يَسْرِقُونَ حَاجَتَهُمْ؟ إِنْ أَتَاكَ قَاطِفُونَ أَفَلَا يُبْقُونَ خُصَاصَةً؟

“If thieves came to you, if robbers by night— oh, how you will be ruined— would they not steal only what they wanted? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleanings?

٦ 6 كَيْفَ فُتِّشَ عِيسُو وَفُحِصَتْ مَخَابِئُهُ؟

But how Esau will be pillaged, his hidden treasures sought out!

٧ 7 طَرَدَكَ إِلَى ٱلتُّخْمِ كُلُّ مُعَاهِدِيكَ. خَدَعَكَ وَغَلَبَ عَلَيْكَ مُسَالِمُوكَ. أَهْلُ خُبْزِكَ وَضَعُوا شَرَكًا تَحْتَكَ. لَا فَهْمَ فِيهِ.

All the men allied with you will drive you to the border; the men at peace with you will deceive and overpower you. Those who eat your bread will set a trap for you without your awareness of it.

٨ 8 أَلَا أُبِيدُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ مِنْ أَدُومَ، وَٱلْفَهْمَ مِنْ جَبَلِ عِيسُو؟

In that day, declares the LORD, will I not destroy the wise men of Edom and the men of understanding in the mountains of Esau?

٩ 9 فَيَرْتَاعُ أَبْطَالُكَ يَا تَيْمَانُ، لِكَيْ يَنْقَرِضَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ جَبَلِ عِيسُو بِٱلْقَتْلِ.

Then your mighty men, O Teman, will be terrified, so that everyone in the mountains of Esau will be cut down in the slaughter.

١٠ 10 «مِنْ أَجْلِ ظُلْمِكَ لِأَخِيكَ يَعْقُوبَ، يَغْشَاكَ ٱلْخِزْيُ وَتَنْقَرِضُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and cut off forever.

١١ 11 يَوْمَ وَقَفْتَ مُقَابِلَهُ يَوْمَ سَبَتِ ٱلْأَعَاجِمُ قُدْرَتَهُ، وَدَخَلَتِ ٱلْغُرَبَاءُ أَبْوَابَهُ، وَأَلْقَوْا قُرْعَةً عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، كُنْتَ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا كَوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ.

On the day you stood aloof while strangers carried off his wealth and foreigners entered his gate and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were just like one of them.

١٢ 12 وَيَجِبُ أَنْ لَا تَنْظُرَ إِلَى يَوْمِ أَخِيكَ يَوْمَ مُصِيبَتِهِ، وَلَا تَشْمَتَ بِبَنِي يَهُوذَا يَوْمَ هَلَاكِهِمْ، وَلَا تَفْغَرَ فَمَكَ يَوْمَ ٱلضِّيقِ،

But you should not gloat in that day, your brother’s day of misfortune, nor rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction, nor boast proudly in the day of their distress.

١٣ 13 وَلَا تَدْخُلَ بَابَ شَعْبِي يَوْمَ بَلِيَّتِهِمْ، وَلَا تَنْظُرَ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا إِلَى مُصِيبَتِهِ يَوْمَ بَلِيَّتِهِ، وَلَا تَمُدَّ يَدًا إِلَى قُدْرَتِهِ يَوْمَ بَلِيَّتِهِ،

You should not enter the gate of My people in the day of their disaster, nor gloat over their affliction in the day of their disaster, nor loot their wealth in the day of their disaster.

١٤ 14 وَلَا تَقِفَ عَلَى ٱلْمَفْرَقِ لِتَقْطَعَ مُنْفَلِتِيهِ، وَلَا تُسَلِّمَ بَقَايَاهُ يَوْمَ ٱلضِّيقِ.

Nor should you stand at the crossroads to cut off their fugitives, nor deliver up their survivors in the day of their distress.

١٥ 15 فَإِنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ يَوْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ. كَمَا فَعَلْتَ يُفْعَلُ بِكَ. عَمَلُكَ يَرْتَدُّ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ.

For the Day of the LORD is near for all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your recompense will return upon your own head.

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا شَرِبْتُمْ عَلَى جَبَلِ قُدْسِي، يَشْرَبُ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأُمَمِ دَائِمًا، يَشْرَبُونَ وَيَجْرَعُونَ وَيَكُونُونَ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَكُونُوا.

For as you drank on My holy mountain, so all the nations will drink continually. They will drink and gulp it down; they will be as if they had never existed.

١٧ 17 «وَأَمَّا جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ فَتَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ نَجَاةٌ، وَيَكُونُ مُقَدَّسًا، وَيَرِثُ بَيْتُ يَعْقُوبَ مَوَارِيثَهُمْ.

But on Mount Zion there will be deliverance, and it will be holy, and the house of Jacob will reclaim their possession.

١٨ 18 وَيَكُونُ بَيْتُ يَعْقُوبَ نَارًا، وَبَيْتُ يُوسُفَ لَهِيبًا، وَبَيْتُ عِيسُو قَشًّا، فَيُشْعِلُونَهُمْ وَيَأْكُلُونَهُمْ وَلَا يَكُونُ بَاقٍ مِنْ بَيْتِ عِيسُو، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ تَكَلَّمَ».

Then the house of Jacob will be a blazing fire, and the house of Joseph a burning flame; but the house of Esau will be stubble— Jacob will set it ablaze and consume it. Therefore no survivor will remain from the house of Esau.”

١٩ 19 وَيَرِثُ أَهْلُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ جَبَلَ عِيسُو، وَأَهْلُ ٱلسَّهْلِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَيَرِثُونَ بِلَادَ أَفْرَايِمَ وَبِلَادَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، وَيَرِثُ بَنْيَامِينُ جِلْعَادَ.

Those from the Negev will possess the mountains of Esau; those from the foothills will possess the land of the Philistines. They will occupy the fields of Ephraim and Samaria, and Benjamin will possess Gilead.

٢٠ 20 وَسَبْيُ هَذَا ٱلْجَيْشِ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ إِلَى صَرْفَةَ. وَسَبْيُ أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي صَفَارِدَ يَرِثُونَ مُدُنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ.

And the exiles of this host of the Israelites will possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath; and the exiles from Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will possess the cities of the Negev.

٢١ 21 وَيَصْعَدُ مُخَلِّصُونَ عَلَى جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ لِيَدِينُوا جَبَلَ عِيسُو، وَيَكُونُ ٱلْمُلْكُ لِلرَّبِّ.

The deliverers will ascend Mount Zion to rule over the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom will belong to the LORD.
